Jett: The Far Shore

Jett: The Far Shore’s artsy sci-fi adventure launches October 5

Jett: The Far Shore is a new sci-fi adventure game coming on October 5 on the PlayStation consoles and the Epic Games Store. The news came during today’s Opening Night Live with Geoff Keighley at Gamescom 2021. You can preorder it now.

The game comes from Sword & Sworcery co-creator Superbrothers A/V and Pine Scented Software.

The 12-hour game invites you on an interstellar trip to carve out a future for a people haunted by oblivion. As scout and “anchorite” Mei, the player is the first to deploy to a mythic ocean planet. You take the helm of a “jett” and explore a vast unknown.

You can skim low over waves, roar up coastlines, and carve through woods. The player has to adapt to a systemic open world. You investigate the source of the “hymnwave,” an interstellar invitation that prompted space exploration.

It’s a single-player adventure game with five acts across the mythic ocean planet.
